Chapter 1166 Unable to Drop Bombs
Although the October Revolution dodged the first bomb, it was obviously injured, the hull began to tilt, and the speed decreased, but it still persisted.
This warship carries too many dreams of the Soviets. Just look at the name and you will know. The sound of the October Revolution brought hope to the whole of Russia. The serfs turned themselves into masters, and the great red empire was established like this. Woke up.
This battleship must not sink!
Although it was hit by a bomb, it still persisted, the bottom part of the water was controlled, the hull was tilted, and the captain Trosky was giving orders one by one.
"Pump all the fuel to the right, balance the hull, pay attention to the anti-aircraft. Where's the rifle? Give me the rifle and shoot it all in the air."
Just after his order was given, another Stuka bomber swooped and dived down from the sky. The whistle on the landing gear was chirping sharply and roaring like a god of death.
The bomber pilot, Schroeder, had a calm look in his eyes.
This time, most of their planes carried this one-ton bomb, but they were all assigned tasks, and large warships were basically two targets for one.
His predecessor didn't complete the mission, the Soviet battleship was still in the channel, so he had to blow up the warship completely.
There were too many dead spots in the opponent's air defense. Following another dead angle in the air defense, Schroeder's bomber accurately entered the bombing route.
The first shot missed, because the opponent turned quickly, and this time, the damaged warship had no chance to maneuver to avoid it. This living target had no chance of surviving.
It only took a few seconds for the Stuka bomber to dive down from the air, and in the process of his dive, a famous Soviet sailor on the deck was squatting below, holding the Monashingan rifle in his hand. , fired at the plane swooping down in the sky.
Generally speaking, sailors on warships are mainly responsible for operating warships. Warships with tens of thousands of tons require many sailor positions.
However, in this air defense operation, many personnel are actually empty. For example, the sailors who operate the torpedoes do not need to do anything now. They just got the guns from the nearby gun storage and immediately began to aim at them. Sky shoot.
In fact, in anti-air combat, anti-aircraft machine guns do not have much use, at least they must be anti-aircraft guns, and the caliber should not be too small. These old bolt-action rifles are supposed to be used to increase psychological comfort.
"Bang, bang!" They could only fire one shot, and they were quick to pull the bolt without aiming, so they just shot the second time.
It was of no use to the Stuka bomber, which was diving rapidly overhead.
The sharp whistling meant that the speed of the dive was sufficient, and the unresponsive battleship would definitely not be able to stop the second attack.
"Boom." In the roar of the engine, there was such an out of tune noise. Schroeder frowned. The sound was very similar to his plane being hit.
But there was no response, all the instruments were normal, and he didn't have time to hesitate.
"Bomb!" he yelled, pressing the button on his control stick.
Then, the fuselage should lighten up, and the rocket-assisted flames from the bomb could be seen in sight. However, now there is nothing.
Damn, Schroeder knew something was wrong.
He had no way to check, and he also thought about something. The impact just now was hit by a bullet below. It was a coincidence that the bullet actually hit the locking mechanism of the bomb rack, and the bomb could not be thrown away. .
How to do?
Schroeder suddenly pulled the control lever back to the end, trying to use the inertia of the plane to shake the bomb down, but although the plane shook twice, there was still no response from below.
On the battleship, the sailors were panting, watching that the plane had already entered the bombing route, but at the last moment of the dive bombing, they pulled the plane up. The rifles fired back, still putting a lot of pressure on them.
And now, the other party finally flew away, why didn't he throw a bomb?
There must have been a mechanical failure, and the bomb could not be dropped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they then found that the plane, which had just been pulled up, swooped down again!
Any machinery will fail. The same is true for aircraft. If you check carefully before departure, there will be various unexpected situations on the battlefield. It is also common to fail to drop bombs.
However, such bombs are troublesome.
This is almost the maximum bomb load of a Stuka bomber. On an aircraft carrier, a catapult must be used to eject this type of aircraft. At the same time, when landing, the bomb must be thrown before it can land, otherwise the bomber will start The drop gear simply could not withstand the impact of the impact.
Now, the bomb couldn't be dropped, the mission couldn't be completed, and after trying once and failing to release it, Schroeder made the decision.
At the moment when the Stuka bomber turned from the pull-up to the dive, I saw a bang on the rear cockpit of the bomber, and the machine gunner at the back, together with his seat, ejected from the plane.
Looking at the ejected machine gunner above their heads, many people forgot to shoot. What happened?
In this era, if the plane is hit, it must be parachuted. No accident, the pilot needs to open the hatch, climb out from the inside, and then jump again.
If the height is not enough and the posture is wrong, it will bring serious consequences. At the same time, old pilots don't like to close the cockpit cover, but it's easy when you want to skydive.
But no one saw that it would pop up on their own, which was simply beyond their expectations.
At this moment, Schroeder in the front cockpit, his heartbeat is accelerating. Just now, he ordered the machine gunner behind him to eject and parachute and leave the plane, and he will also complete a fateful mission, since he cannot throw Put down the bomb, then fly over with the bomb, take the bomb, and hit the battleship!
He turned his head and saw the machine gunner in the sky. He had released the seat and opened the parachute. He was finally relieved. Then, he pushed the operating lever, and the fighter re-aimed at the slow battleship. The reticle pressed onto the turret in front of the battleship.
Dive and dive again, Soviets, get ready for a gift from hell!
